Teeny Tiny Itty Bitties

I have a cat I call Teeny Tiny, but these Zakka style magnets are tinier! I had to do them twice because I started out making my seams 1/8 of an inch, instead of starting with a quarter inch and trimming down.

I love the colors, and I love the finished result! I could call them charming, or wonky, but they are still just a little off, seamwise. I'm still learning! I'm going to have to put tape on my seam guide plate, for starters. Wear my reading glasses, for seconds. Make sure I have light, and look, look, look again!

Here's another picture:

I left the guy in the center larger because I wanted those nine patches to be all the same size.

I thought it was tricky to turn them right side out, and I had a time sewing them shut, as the linen kept unraveling. They're really on the edge of my threshold for tinyness, but aren't they sweet?

I used some moda scraps called Cherries Jubilee, as well as some Kaffe Fasset and Heather Bailey (I think.) The fridge words are in Swedish and they say stuff like "enjoy/nuance/snow/sun/shadow/whisper/surprised/soft/laugh...."

Just the fun stuff to put on the outside of the fridge next to the grocery list!

I'm done with my mug rug swap, but I can't show it yet. The doll quilt is almost done too!

About Me

I'm an American living in Sweden. I love sewing and quilting, and anything fabric-related, except for mending knees! I love to take pictures, especially of nature, barns, and quilts. Winters are dark here, so Swedish Scrapper is a blend of all I can scrape together to make the days pretty for my family and me. It's a humble contribution, but making things lovely is really what makes me tick!
